The people who will be motivated by "15,000 Haitian immigrants in Springfield in three years" are already voting and are voting Trump.

Everyone else is going to remember nothing except "they're eating dogs and cats."

I fail to see how there's any positive spin on this for Republicans. It's obvious lunatic insanity that repels suburban voters who actually live on the planet Earth and exclusively and entirely motivates racist morons who are not-so-secretly wishing their well-read copy of the Turner Diaries is coming true.

Are you forgetting that Trump is heavily favored to win Ohio and Brown will likely need to win a substantial number of Trump voters to be reelected?

Sure, and he's done it before. The ones Brown can win aren't going to be swayed by some insane lunacy. Basically, I don't think story affects Brown negatively at all. If he loses, it's because Ohio is just a lost cause, not because a lot of Haitians moved into a minor town in the middle of the state.
